After a stroke, many patients experience problems with bladder control and urination. This study will follow about 250 people who have recently had a stroke (either from a blood clot or bleeding) during their early recovery period at a rehabilitation center. Researchers will assess which patients develop urinary problems, classify the types of problems they have, and then treat them using proven approaches to help restore bladder function and prevent complications.
Bladder control problems are common after stroke but are not always recognized or treated early. This study aims to better understand how often these problems occur, how they should be managed, and what complications (such as infections, falls, or pressure sores) can be prevented with proper treatment.

You will be admitted to a rehabilitation center after your stroke. On your first day, staff will perform an assessment to check for urinary problems and measure any urine remaining in your bladder. If you develop bladder problems, you will receive treatment using either timed urination or a bladder diary approach. Throughout your stay, the nursing team will regularly check your bladder function, track any infections or falls, and monitor your use of continence aids. The study will follow you during your standard rehabilitation stay.
